I'd start with something simple, even like a beat-em-up like Double Dragon because I know a few shortcuts and glitches in that game, and I know I can easily beat some of the runs I've seen. Then maybe some simple run-and-guns and platformers like Shinobi and other stuff I'm familiar with. I've also always wanted to do a speed-run of Bubble Bobble because there are ways to manipulate the game into giving you certain items. Unfortunately you can only beat Bubble Bobble in 2P mode, but I think there are ways around that. I just saw on SDA the record for Hard Corps Uprising is 36m:25. It took me longer than that to beat the demo lol. On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 7:31 PM, Ryan Williams <ryan820509@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > One-handed Super Mario 64 is pretty damned impressive.
